Palestinian Hip-Hop

Filmmaker Joyce Salloum is at work on a film about Palestinian hip-hop, SlingShot Hip-Hop: The Palestinian Lyrical Front, to be released this winter. A CD has been released, called Free the P, available here, to raise money for the film, featuring mostly Arab-American groups, but also including a cut from the most high-profile Palestinian hip-hop group, DAM. Listen to the CD here. Read about the film project here.
